ABSTRACT:
The microscope apparatus has an objective lens, a sample base on which an observation sample is placed, a sensor target mounted on the tip portion of the objective lens, and a non-contact sensor mounted on the sample base. The non-contact sensor detects the distance to the sensor target. The microscope further has a motor that moves the objective lens along the optical axis and the controller that controls the motor to keep the relative distance between the tip portion of the objective lens5and the sample base constant while the control switch is ON.
